If you think turbulence is getting worse, you’re right. Here’s why
- Turbulence is increasing as jet streams become more unstable, raising concern for flights worldwide.
- Mendoza–Santiago is labeled the world’s most turbulent flight route by Turbli based on 10,000 routes.
- Airlines are tightening seatbelt rules and adjusting in-flight service to manage turbulence risk.
- Turbulence Aware gathers real-time data from airlines to guide pilots away from hotspots.
- AI models by airlines such as ANA and Emirates aim to forecast unstable air with high accuracy.
- Airlines have adjusted meal service and procedures to reduce turbulence-related injuries.
- Turblu ranks routes by eddy dissipation rate (EDR) to indicate turbulence intensity.
- The study forecasts wind shear will rise by up to 27% by 2100, increasing turbulence.
- Air regulators consider classifying turbulence as a primary safety category in future plans.
- The UK’s AAIB reported cases of injuries due to turbulence and emphasized seatbelt use.
